Why would a Senior bleed when urinating?
Sunday, February 20th, 2011My grandfather is in Mexico and my aunts recently took him to the hospital because he’s bleeding when he urinates. The doctors said that it was his prostate and that an operation of 20,000 pesos (@ 2000 dollars) is needed. My mom has heard that blood in urine is not caused by prostate and that the Doctors just want money. She fears for my Grandfather’s health. Money is not a concern but she wants to make sure that the Doctors aren’t lying to her. (All this is just quick facts my Mom told me about I don’t know much detail). My grandfather is about 80+ years old, I dont believe he’s been to the doctor, often during his life. He currently seems to be suffering from Alzheimer’s. BUT I must inform that he’s been deaf since age 15, and we believe it’s confusion of him being old and remembering things from the past. He seems to see things and act as if he’s in combat and can hear certain things. (Being deaf this is impossible so it’s a confusing situation) Anything you guys can help me out with will be greatly appreciated. Why would a Senior bleed when urinating? Thank You Very Much In Advance.
